Scanning for malware in files uploaded to Azure


I am building a .net app (Azure app service) with file upload feature that would upload pdf/docx files to Azure blob storage.

I was just wondering if a malicious user uploads a virus infected file, bad macro in word file, is Azure able to scan and remove/quarantine that file?

In the app, admin user will be able to download the file using a url. Will that file be virus free? Or do I need to explicitly call antivirus like Symantec End Point after the admin downloads the file.

Please let me know your expert thoughts.


Solution

  • At this moment, there's no solution for that available on Azure. You'd need to use 3rd party or build one yourself. In the future, you'll be able to use https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security-center/threat-protection
